Seminar 2019 Highlights

We will come together June 2-5 to hear from some of the world’s pre-eminent experts as we welcome a community of like-minded colleagues and professionals.

Who We Are

Seminarians are the attendees at the annual forum, The Seminar. They are a select, invitation-only group of the highest-ranking communications and public affairs executives at the world’s most influential corporations, nonprofit organizations, universities, and public relations agencies.

Topics and personalities always distinguish The Seminar’s eclectic programming,capturing hearts and minds with storytelling that has the power to change how we view the world. Panels, interviews and narratives bring a unique perspective, followed by special events, live music, and evening entertainments. Of course, we will be celebrating the delights of Napa Valley Wine Country throughout The Seminar 2019!

Peerless Programming, Fellowship

As Seminarians have come to expect, the programming for 2019 will be exceptional and mind-expanding—and the fellowship of The Seminar—matchless.

Seminarians always get the chance to question speakers at frequent Q&A sessions, and have plenty of time to engage with fellow Seminarians. Whether it’s through conversations, a shared meal, renewed long-time friendships or the added acquaintance of First-Time Seminarians, fellowship grows and abounds each year.
